Benefits of technology

The patent describes a technology that uses a custom data model to detect if a person has missed an activity or if their level of activity is decreasing. This is done by collecting data on the person's activity and comparing it to a pre-defined rule-based model. The technology can also adjust its sensitivity to detect falls based on the person's activity level.

Problems solved by technology

However, it is not practical for some people to live a completely independent life and various types of assistance or supportive care is needed.

Abstract

A wearable device monitors a wearer's physical activity and provides assistance to the wearer. The device includes physiologic sensors that provide sensor data of the wearer to a processor, a user interface that provides information to the wearer, a network interface that provides a network connection between the device and a remote computer, and a memory that stores instructions. The processor executes the instructions to collect physical activity data of the wearer using the sensors, to provide the collected activity data to the remote computer via the network interface to create or update a parameterized rule-based custom data model for the wearer, to receive the custom data model for comparison to collected activity data, and to communicate with the wearer via the user interface when a check of the wearer's activity data against the custom data model indicates that the wearer's activity is not consistent with the custom data model.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is a continuation-in-part of, and claims priority to, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14 / 917,787, filed Mar. 9, 2016, which claims priority to PCT / US2014 / 056687 filed Sep. 19, 2014, which, in turn, claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 879,806, filed Sep. 19, 2013. The contents of these applications are incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The disclosure herein is directed to an assist device and system and, more particularly, to an assist device and associated systems for monitoring and evaluating the physical activity patterns of a wearer of the assist device to determine when the wearer needs assistance and to provide such assistance.BACKGROUND[0003]Ill, elderly, or infirm persons typically desire to remain at home and continue to live as independently as possible. However, it is not practical for some people to live a completely independent life and various types of ass...
